Dictatorship is a form of government in which all the state power belongs only to one political position – the ruler (dictator), the ruling party, the ruling group, the ruling alliance or the ruling social class.

At present, the dictatorship is usually referred to as the regime of power of one person, which actions are not limited by laws and regulations, are not restrained by any social or political institutions.
